In a recent interview, Uche claimed that Lydia had sent him a “scary” message during the course of their ill-fated relationship, further fueling the ongoing tension between the former couple.
“There was one message in particular that Lydia sent me that was just really scary,” Uche revealed. “It was during a time when we were going through a lot, and she just said some things that really concerned me about her mental state and her wellbeing.”
The 31-year-old aerospace engineer did not provide further details about the specific contents of the alleged message, but he emphasized that it left him feeling deeply unsettled.

“I tried to be there for her as much as I could, but that message was a real wake-up call. It showed me that things were spiraling in a direction I didn’t feel equipped to handle,” Uche admitted.
Fans of the show will recall the tumultuous relationship between Uche and Lydia, which was marked by constant bickering, trust issues, and an ultimately unsuccessful attempt at marriage.

Throughout their time in the pods and subsequent engagement, the couple struggled to see eye-to-eye on a number of critical issues, with Lydia’s apparent emotional volatility emerging as a major point of contention.
Uche’s latest revelation only serves to further underscore the intense challenges the pair faced in their relationship, which ultimately culminated in their decision to part ways at the altar on their wedding day.
“It was a really difficult and emotional time for both of us,” Uche reflected. “I wanted nothing more than for our relationship to work, but sometimes things just aren’t meant to be, no matter how much you try.”
While Lydia has not yet publicly responded to Uche’s claims, fans of the show have been quick to weigh in on the controversy. Many have expressed concern for Lydia’s wellbeing, while also praising Uche for his apparent efforts to be supportive during their tumultuous relationship.
As the fallout from season 5 continues to unfold, it’s clear that the journeys of the Love Is Blind contestants are far from over. Viewers will no doubt be keeping a close eye on how Uche and Lydia navigate the aftermath of their failed engagement in the weeks and months to come.
